Game Of Thrones Season 6 Discussion (Spoilers)

They all definitely did. The Hound and Arya walked right up to the Bloody Gate (or at least the show's version of it) and that's how they found out that Lysa Arryn had died. They were leaving the area when they met Brienne and Podrick, who had been en route to the Eyrie to see Lysa themselves, and given the clearly rocky and elevated landscape I'm inclined to think that they were still in the Vale.
 
The Bloody Gate is literally the border of the Vale.

They were more likely in the foothills of the Mountains of the Moon.

Nope.

I'm not sure if you're just being weirdly specific about what the Vale is, but I'm talking about the entire region, which encompasses all of the Mountains of the Moon. The Hound, Arya, Brienne, and Podrick were all in the Vale.
 
Slightly belated thoughts:

A pre-credits sequence outside of a season opener, a GOT first.

A second consecutive episode without Tyrion, also a first (albeit less welcome). Probably because they don't really know what to do with him this season and can only write so many scenes of him making mistakes in his Valyrian and jokes about castration to Grey Worm and Varys.

Speaking of which, now Yara is making them to Theon (great sistering going on there, definitely a touch of her dad about her).

Lady Mormont is great but is Jon the worse salesman ever or what? If I was him, I'd be all "Did I mention that I have a giant OH AND I CAME BACK FROM THE DEAD, HENCE IM GONNA KILL RAMSAY?"

Is the Jon/Sansa split widening? Why won't she tell him she wrote to Littlefinger?

Great to see the Blackfish back, ditto Bronn. Between them, they will give Jaime an inferiority complex with their withering put down.

Margery remains a cunning player of the game.

Am I the only one who honestly wanted them to leave the Hound where he was, in what McShane called 'murderers' anonymous'? Probably..
 
Nope.

I'm being specific. They may have been within the borders of Arryn lands at some point, but they never passed through the mountains themselves and so were never in the Vale. They were probably somewhere in the area between the Trident and the Mountains, with the hippies setting up their commune somewhere around Saltpans.
 
Oh i expect great and brutal things from Margaery.. she's leagues above Cersei and i fear she's not above killing her own brother if he breaks fully and threatens to drag her down. Tommen is just a tool for her, always was so it remains to be seen what her plan really is. Just assassinating the Sparrow won't do it anymore.. that would have worked in the very early stages when he was not so well known but doing it now would just make him a martyr and rile up the people even more.

At this point i don't know how you could put the Sparrow back in the bottle, it's the same problem we have in our reality with religious extremists. How do you kill an idea that moves so many people and makes fanatics out of them?

Off the top of my head, I would guess that her plan is to take his place somehow. If she can convince the fanatics that she's one of them and convince the Sparrow that she's like him, then all it takes is a well hidden assassination and a speech about permanently uniting the crown and the faith, and she no longer has to worry about them. (At least, not too much).
 
She's very good at playing the People's Queen, so a few visits to the poor while playing the religion card for all it's worth could work well...
 
So what did the note to her grandmother mean? I didn't actually catch it with my own eyes but my wife said it was a rose. This is a reference to Loras?

You're talking about the Eyrie, not the Vale. The Vale encompasses everything in that map.
 
Nope. The Vale is the assortment of valleys on the other side of the Mountains of the Moon from the Riverlands. The Mountains are technically within Arryn lands but the First Men tribes within them rule themselves for the most part. A pass through the mountains and The Bloody Gate in particular separates the Riverlands side of the mountains from the Vale, though the Lord of the Vale (Once the King of Mountain and Vale) controls some lands in the foothills of those mountains on the eastern side of the Trident.
 
No, it's simple as that. The rose is House Tyrell's sigil so that basic message makes sense.
 
That's what I got from it, too. Not entirely surprising at all. Margery has always been and always will be a player to get what she needs/wants. Far more adept at political maneuvering than Cersei could ever hope to be. Her grandma taught her well. :)
